Chapter 1 Analyzer Overview
Introduction The AU480 is an automated chemistry analyzer that measures analytes in samples, in combination with appropriate reagents, calibrators, quality control (QC) material, and other accessories. The system is for in vitro diagnostic use only. The AU480 performs automated analysis of serum, urine, and other fluids. This chapter will cover the following:
Analyzer and ISE hardware components Photometric sample processing overview ISE sample processing overview
Understanding the function of hardware components in the processing of samples on the analyzer can assist in efficiently operating the system, as well as with performing maintenance and troubleshooting. Note: The ISE module is an optional module of the analyzer. You can skip any ISE-related information and procedures in the In-Lab Training Manual if your lab does not have the ISE module.
Practice Use the information presented in the following pages to identify the hardware
